David Sleighs Us!

I spent a good part of the night viewing the Sleigh Ride nominations, and it was great to remember all the incredible performances of the MKOC Tour! I’ve seen most of these vids before, but with David away and no Christmas tour this year, it was a bittersweet experience to watch all the screaming fans and David just soaking up all that energy and turning it into pure magic on the stage!

Thank you for the amazing vid nominations – it was hard work watching all of them to pick out ones to put in the poll – NOT! Sleigh Ride was the opening song of the MKOC tour, and David was on FIRE! Running all over the stage and so many adorable hand motions (think chestnuts popping: pop-pop-pop). I lost track of how many times David pointed to someone in the audience when he sang “…Sleigh ride together with youuuuuuu” which was followed by high pitched screams from every fan who was SURE David was pointing directly at them! I think it’s fair to say that David would like to go on a sleigh ride with ALL of his fans – he’s gonna need a gigantic sleigh!

For your viewing and voting pleasure, the “Sleigh Ride” nominees for the MKOCFTH virtual concert – all together now….. Neighhhhhhhh:

Sunday Poll: Climb Every Mountain

David’s heartfelt invitation to his fans to support ChildFund was underscored by his emotional performance of “Climb Every Mountain” – its positive message of hope and striving to reach your dreams resonated with the audience and was reflected in the amazing support ChildFund received throughout the MKOC tour.

Help us select a CEM performance to include in our MKOCFTH virtual concert by sending us a link via twitter or in comments! Tomorrow, vote on your fave!

David Climbs to #2 Spot on Musiqtone!

Go-Getters getting it DONE! Musiqtone predicted another 1-2 sweep by Tswift, but they may have underestimated the power of the ArchuVote as David’s EH breaks the “stranglehold” and moves into 2nd place! We’ve been here before – and there’s nothing wrong with 2nd place – except it’s not 1st place! So calling all Archies to join together and flex your voting muscle in this LAST cycle to get David and EH to #1!!

Carrie Underwood to star in remake of The Sound of Music

Filing this under “News related to Climb Every Mountain” lol – but it was interesting to hear that there will be a tv version remake of The Sound of Music. Many people think this classic movie, originally starring Julie Andrews, is a classic better left alone, while others are curious to see how Carrie will adapt her “country accent” to the role of Maria von Trapp. I personally love The Sound of Music, and we know that Carrie can sing – so something to watch while we wait for 2014!

hi everyone
thanks Kalei for a super post

have a great day to you all xxx

BTW, forgot to say……GOOD Question, where is the NA DVD???….Please, TV5, we WANT IT!
Superbly gorgeous pics by JLB!
Wanna get the DAPO album…..love seeing his D’s name on it…..best LDB ever!
Gotta watch the SL vids to vote!
Too much goodies to savor today!!!!!!!!

Hello Everyone! Thanks Kalei for the wonderful post. I love this choosing songs for David’s concert this year! FUN! FUN! Lots of great Sleigh Ride performances! I think David’s redition of LDB on the Dapo and Friends is beautiful, but I’ve always been partial to his LDB performances during his tour. I just find them so incredible! He puts so much energy and passion in his vocal delivery, that is really is so amazing, and to me, even more impressive than his Dapo and Friends recording!!!

sarahazel-David is at #2 on the musiqutone poll the one you are looking at is the old one we are now on cycle 48, he came in #2 on 47, the poll you should look at is the one that you start voting on, not the one that comes on when you are finished. Already put in 100 votes this morning and will put in another 100 later if they let me, have voted on the other polls also. Going into Boston with my daughters shortly, will check out poll on Sleigh ride later.
Linda didn’t receive my FEE today either, don’t know what is going ob. Hope you had better luck BBLT

Nora, I gave up expecting to receive anything. I get too disappointed. I try not to think about it. I have another one coming, maybe i will get that one.

Have a nice trip with your daughter, My daughter and i are taking one Mon Dec 10th. I really like bieng with her, we don’t get to talk a lot about whats going on with our lives because of work. Of Course sometimes she want to act like my mother and i have to put a cork on it Ha! Ha!

Linda-maybe I will try not to look for my CD, when it comes it comes. Know what you mean about daughters, I have 2 that some times think they are my Mother, but what would we do without them. Mine live very close by. Does your daughter live near you?Have to go now BBLT. Have a great day.

Yikes I’m nervous about my first performance today. Hoping my voice will work right, specially on my trio. Have a great day today everyone. Here is today’s video pick from 200 favorites.
Feliz Navidad in Baltimore when he comes down into the audience.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAak0vN1yZc

Just finished watching an episode of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that now features David Foster and his wife. And guess who was a guest @ their the dinner party that was shown during the show. Michael Johns from David’s AI season. Did not know that he is now possibly working with David Foster. He was featured singing @ the table and was not too impressed even though I like him. They also kinda of sung a little of Amazing Grace but no offense it wasn’t all that great. David would have blown them all away. I know that David worked with Foster but I wonder why it never continued? Anyone hear of Johns working with David Foster? Just curious.

breanne–the page where we vote says “As of Last Countdown Cycle”….which was #47….which totally confused me too at first…until Musiqtone sent out that tweet….#3′s not bad for now….haha….so let’s keep on voting!!!

Thanks Angelbymyside for the info. Didn’t expect to see him on that show. Didn’t David Foster play with David singing? It may have been on a skating show. I may be mistaken since I try to remember all things David. lol

FOD is a happy place to visit and thanks for all the info you guys constantly post here. Finally got my FEE the other day and the music video is on repeat!! David is the most adorable thing in the whole world!! Miss him so much, but he is busy with his mission work there and hopefully we get to hear about the Devotional Christmas soon!!
Have a great day everyone!!

omg LOL! remember the other day after i saw that photo when i asked if stalker sarah was after david?? and i was only kidding!!!! did not know she does really want him! maybe he’s in chile hiding from herLOL!!!

sarah~ that’s the one(with the green thing around his neck) that i was talking about!LOL i said david looks crazy and asking who she was!!! thinking, oh no, she’s got brown hair and brown eyes! (david’s type)

Just finished watching Marcella’s video of the MKOC tour……..IT WAS FABULOUS! Felt like I was actually at a concert! Her editing is seamless….truly amazed at what she did! If you haven’t watched it, you must!!!

abms~ it is kinda disturbing but maybe it’s her way of trying to become famous herself and/or meet and marry a famous guy. she must have some kind of connection to get into all those award show after partys. maybe her father or mother is a producer or director or something?

Hey Linda! I know what ya mean. I do have to day, I’m hearing David more at work, stores, etc…. Not sure whats behind it, but I’m glad. How anyone cannot include Davids Christmas music, well, it just doesnt make any sense.

Hello everyone. Just read Kalei’s great post and then watched Marcella’s huge Holiday surprise to us. It is amazing. It was just as good as being there live. It was a truly spectacular concert. Not spectacular with glamour and glitz but spectacular because of David’s music and personality. He is wonderful and more. Thank you Marcella. You did a spectacular job!! <3

Hi! Beth, Sgj–Hope you’ve had a good Sat. I have been away voting. Got a lot done at home today so i feel like i accomplished something and didn’t waste my day away. In fact going to try and vote on musiqtone for the 3rd time if it lets me.

Hey Linda! Sounds like you have had a productive day. I did some shopping, did some voting, watching Marcella’s video, fabulous.

supergrand, as I said to Candy earlier The crow flies at midnight, but the aligator walks before dawn, on Tuesdays. Thats code for no news yet , that I’m aware of anyway. But if the bird that flew south, sings like a canary, then the carrier pigeon can deliver the you know what, about the you know what, thats if the wind blows while the mountain stands still & the daffadils bloom in the desert Understand?

Awwwwe supergrand, thats so sweet, you’re going to make me cry The feeling is mutual

Candy I think I made myself perfectly clear

Linda, lol, the Fine Feathered Fellows have to do a security check on you first & if you pass that, I’ll share the secret handshake & if you can do that, then we’ll talk about letting you in on the code Actually, I can do my name in sign language, the sign for coffee & thank you.

Its been a tough month, but being able to come here & joke around with you guys, just makes things so much better, I love all of you guys, TONS & TONS

David singing Chestnuts…mmmmm, soooooo good! David’s voice almost give me chills hearing him sing this. Chestnuts and This Christmas both are soooo romantic sounding when David sings them. I’ve heard a number of people sing these two songs, and no one makes them sound near as romantic as the Archuleta! He is a killer for sure, LOL!!!

I braved all the malls today and listened to David Christmas music in the car ALL DAY!!!!! Hey guys…..wasn’t a year ago this weekend that we were all in Stroudsburg together……What A weekend……Miss Vicki

candy didn,t i say that before,it,s his way of commucateing without breaking the rules ,just love him,and you know who should be embressed abouy sending emails to chile . so there you know who .LOL david loves us

Hi everyone! Our concert went well. We did really good and our trio got a lot of good praise from the ladies in the choir and the people we sang for. Gave me extra confidence! On the way home we were singing other Christmas carols not on our program. One was Angels We Have Heard on High. I sang the “gloria” chorus the way it was done in Angels in the Realms of Glory during MOTABS. Some of the other altos followed suit. We sounded so good. I wish I would have recorded it. Someone from the back of the bus said “gee we should be a choir”. LOL

OMG….If David sang The Prayer….I would be goner…..Such a beautiful song…..I know he could sing that much better than Celine Dion and Gosh Groban……Been lurking tonight…..Gotta go to bed now…….Miss Vicki

I hope Gladys writes about this concert too, I went to the Voice but couldn’t get to the chat room, I hope we hear more! So David knows that us fans are getting feedback from Gladys and he is okay with that? Is that what Ray is saying? That’s awesome! Good nite guys

Patty Ann, should correct some typos in that other post. I meant to say been dying to hear David sing The Prayer since I first heard his voice. I agree with Miss Vicki, I’ll be a goner, too, if I get to hear him sing it.

Thanks everyone! We sang this song called Mixed Up Christmas. There was a part that the altos really did get mixed up. But Margaret covered it so well she just got exasperated in a funny way and said “alright now you mixed up ladies.” Then told us to start over at a certain point. She made it look like our “mix”-up was part of the “Mixed-up Christmas.” LOL

Patty Ann, it’s okay. We seriously need an edit button here. Would make things much easier. I’ve been to four shows and will keep going for the rest of my life or as long as he keeps singing/performing, whichever comes first.

Lucy, I think the approval was for The Voice blog. They seem to be okay with sharing news there. Thank goodness.
As for the gift, Gladys is going to bring him one with a note from all of us the next time she sees him.

Hi guys!
..bringing back part of Pastel’s “recent reminder” with a little more~
We all love David and support him in many ways, this is undeniable. And the point of our site is to celebrate David Archuleta, the artist, and our writers work hard to share news/pix/stories/features that demonstrate David’s artistry and spirit. In doing that, our goal is to be inclusive of all fans while still holding to our FOD site policies.
Our policy on mission subject matter remains the same. Although links remain allowed in comments, commentary on link content or on David’s personal missionary activities do not. Any mission related information we support and post here is info received from Kari, David (KS), or from Team Archuleta. Please help us in following these guidelines .

Hi Dorothy! Just to clarify: Our posted reminder was not in specific response to the comment you referenced. Instead, the reminder was posted as a general reminder of our FOD policy: links are allowed, but commenting on the content of those links or bringing in and discussing mission related content from other sources is not. If you have additional questions, please feel free to send us an email to fodfrontpage@gmail.com Thank you, the FOD staff.

please check this video athttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=FTLGBfv4xaM&NR=1 , look closely at the first scene in the video ,the boy talking to Jesus sitting at the wooden bench very much like David , I almost teary eyed when i see this.

I guess my thoughts about an event open to the public being discussed are different…I can certainly understand not discussing what David is doing on a daily basis but a public event…sorry dont agree BUT will respect the rules of the site.

kimk-I look at it this way..they’re the mods, its their site, their rules, their interpretation, either we (I) abide by them or go somewhere else. Unfortunately it draws lines in the sand…99% on one side…the other 1% on the other. But like I said, its ok, Ive never been a conformist! Im used to me!

I am just glad that other sites exists where FREE SPEACH ( like the American constitution provides for) is allowed. And to be honest the web design and content on other sites is a far cry better than here.
Well I guess I need to sink back into obscurity again. I am just tired of the micromanagement.
I remain your truely miss PERSONA – NON – GRATA oldphatone

I have to clarify something. I completely understand the FOD MODs wanting to set some guidelines. If they allow some things then there will always be that question as to what to allow and what not to allow. Allowing links is an easier way. I re-read Joanie’s post from last night and she was just restating rules. I’m sad though that some thought the post was directed to them.
